  • The problem is the same all over Europe people are unhappy with immigration from MENA.

    None of the centre or left parties will deal with it, except in Denmark and Poland which coincidentally have seen lower votes for far right parties. But that’s probably unrelated right.

    So yea. Let’s decide who should be in power and what they think of is right goes and ban anyone that thinks differently.













  • Yet another report that groups all immigration as one unit. Separate it by country and education level then look at crime and contributions.

    “UK immigration between 1994 and 2016 found it had reduced the hourly wage of UK-born wage earners in the bottom 20 per cent of the labour market by about 0.5p per year”

    That’s meant to be a good thing? That’s a huge loss over a time period where wages are expected to be going up.

    Nothing about housing.

    So what. One of the most densely populated (not small)countries in the world should just keep increasing its population endlessly because it’s good for numbers on a spreadsheet? There got to be more to life than increasing GDP endlessly.

    Yea there a big issue with things like nursing. They don’t get paid enough. I don’t see how someone looks at nurses and says “wow they work really hard, have long hours, don’t get paid much, don’t get enough help with training. Should we fix all that? No let’s just get immigrants to suffer like that because the locals won’t”.

    But have said all that. Shouldn’t it be the choice of the people? Lower immigration and less GDP growth or high immigration and high GDP growth. A lot of people in the UK would be willing to make comprises to reduce immigration legal, illegal and asylum. There is more to life than GDP.







  • The analysis of the piece is the educational purpose not the piece itself. Just like as mentioned Shakespeare. Are you suggesting I should use Shakespeare as to understand modern politics?

    Grapes of wrath means nothing to be because I haven’t read it. If there is any important facts within it then they will stand alone.

    Otherwise the argument for reading it is the same as the argument of “do your own research”.

    Provide something of note or don’t bother. Reading a fiction book isn’t my way of learning about the world and I don’t think it should be yours.
